Milton, MA - The Curry women's lacrosse team defeated the Gordon Fighting Scots on Saturday by a final score of 19-16, moving to 6-10 on the season and 2-5 in CCC play. The Scots are now 3-12 and 1-5. With the win, the Colonels put themselves in a great spot to make the CCC playoffs.

After five minutes of scoreless play, the goals started coming fast and furiously, as Gordon opened the scoring. Curry then scored twice in a 30 second span, with Casey Conneely and Chloe Chevrier each scoring. After another Scots goal, Ellie Hardman and Grayson Goolgasian each found the back of the net. A third Gordon goal made it 4-3 after the first quarter.

Gordon tied things up early in the second, but three straight Colonel goals put Curry back in front. Another Goolgasian goal was sandwiched between two Chloe Chevrier goals. Gordon drew back within one with two straight goals, but another scoring spree by Curry made it 10-6, as Conneely, Nicole Michael, and Goolgasian each scored. A Gordon goal with 30 seconds left in the period made in 10-7 at the half.
